Control

Within the sword array, Shen Tucang's aura grew ever deeper.

The Black Tortoise Sword Art was top-tier in both offense and defense. Under the chained bombardment of twenty sword beads, Shen Tucang was powerless to break the array and could only defend.

When Shen Tucang focused wholeheartedly on defense, even though the twenty sword beads unleashed all manner of sword techniques, they still found it difficult to penetrate the area around his body. As he continued defending, Shen Tucang began directly borrowing the sword beads' power.

And that limit was utterly incapable of breaking the sword array. There was a gap between the Heavy Origin Sword and the Black Tortoise Sword Art, but the gap was not absurdly vast.
